Standard Fit to Care

A recognition of one’s own limitations and competencies is paramount and clinicians require access to an experienced mentor for advice and/or ongoing supervision and reflective learning.

Clinicians should regularly source training updates and consider a reflective CPD journal using real case studies. These can be discussed during clinical supervision to support safe practice and be part of a professional revalidation process where necessary.

Clinicians remain accountable for their own practice and to their regulating body and must work to local and national protocols and guidelines.
